Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
On the ground? It’s an eyeball from the first guy that saw the k10 that day - popped right out in amazement.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
That's cheating. You've got inside knowledge. I should have been more clear about the rules.

And that rarely goes well.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
After more than year in NorthEast Georgia with me, we finally loaded up the truck for the trip to my brother's. Pulled out at 6am and arrived exactly 3 hours later. We packed a little surprise for him (one that you'll appreciate Pete)...a set of freshly painted rallys (OLDYELLOW signature series). My brother has always wanted those darn rallys on there. But he better have some super crisp center caps and trim rings if they're going on this truck!
It was a fun day...felt more like a christening as we received a mini parade of family and friends (responsibly of course) to check it out. Who knows what the future holds for the truck. That's up to him. But much like the birth of baby...the pain fades and is often forgotten (says the dad). And all I seem to remember today is the fun.

Looks great out in the sun. I hope he keeps it for a very long time. The clouds reflecting on the hood. The shine is amazing

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Spectacular job guys! Brad thanks for the updated photos.
If your brother needs a nice set of caps for the rally wheels have him reach out to me. I've got the take-off NOS set that were briefly used on my Blazer but the trim rings went to another member. Cheers

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
I know I have asked and you have answered before, but, where did you get the radiator hoses? I have spent the last tow hours going through this thread and cant find it.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Did someone say Rally wheels!!!???? Now that excites me...LOL
I love this truck and hope he posts pics of it monthly for all of us to see. How about you build a nice square body just like it?

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Thanks. If you really want to see me cuss a snap ring...click on the tractor build in my signature. There was a thick constant section snap ring on the front spindle that pushed me to the limit (in fairness it had been on the tractor for over 70 years). I was surprised that I made it through the affair without the neighbors calling the cops.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Well...here's a postscript of sorts. My brother did in fact sell the truck. Some of you may have seen the eBay listing. While it did not meet the reserve during the auction run, there was a lot of activity. I fielded a lot of calls, emails and messages...and they continued well after the auction ended. This week a deal did come together and of all places she ended up just an hour away from Athens. I delivered her personally and wiped her down one last time. She went to a very good home and will sit next to a very original '69 K5.
Once more, I just want to thank Eric for all his efforts and my brother for finding us a '69 K10 SWB to work on...as well as all of you for your help and encouragement. ...on to the next one.
